institutions of higher education often turn to contractors, especially since many academic disciplines, English, Computer and to a lesser extent French, starved for teaching corps. Contractors are unavoidable, " all universities in need, but to a limited extent, otherwise it would have negative effects on the quality of teaching ", said Bashir Tekkari minister.
Contract teachers are often left to themselves, in the absence of a framework that would ensure them their seniors. The problem arises particularly in institutions that lack of teacher-researchers, namely, higher education professors and lecturers required to ensure that framework.
This a relationship of cause and effect, the deficiency under permanent teaching leads to an increase in the number of contractors. New recruitment of teachers do not, in fact, needs, particularly in specialties that have increased exponentially in the number of students. Of the 21,210 teachers of Superior (11 530 men), nearly one quarter or 5346 are under contract. They live a truly precarious, since they are fired after four to five years at the university. The workload assigned to them in contract, (9 to 10 hours of instruction per week, overtime, TD), even if it allowed them to gain some teaching experience, preventing them from completing their thesis. Once their contracts come to an end, so they come back to square one. A situation that has pare graduate schools.
The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has to move away from the contractual formula, doing doctoral nursery assistant training, open to graduates from the master to conduct their research. PhD students will find in these scientific structures and technological leadership required: mentors, research topics, references etc.. Research students graduate schools will be allowed to provide up to 5 hours of instruction in college, under the status of associate researcher. Otherwise, they will receive a scholarship whose value will be determined later.
Once out of graduate schools, they will spend the assistantship. If they succeed, they will be recruited as assistants. Ultimate goal: to consolidate the permanent faculty and phase of the contractual formula.
Graduate schools are created within institutions of higher education and research may issue master's degrees and doctorates. These structures work around a set of complementary pathways to doctoral studies (biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics etc.).. There are by now, 37 graduate schools totaling 107 master's degrees and over 10 universities. They have 120 laboratories and 459 research units.
